INTRODUCTION: Birthing people with opioid use disorder (OUD) and chronic pain (CP) face significant barriers to effective postpartum pain management including medical complexity of analgesic decisions as well as stigma and bias towards individuals with these diagnoses. To date, clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for patients with OUD and CP have lacked patients’ perspectives. We sought to capture voices of patients and their medical providers to inform effective, equitable pain management CPGs for birthing people with OUD and CP. METHODS: We performed a subgroup analysis of 31 patient and 22 provider interviews conducted to develop CPGs. Institional review board approval was obtained along with participant consent, and data were de-identified. We isolated quotes pertaining to OUD and CP from participants with and providers caring for individuals with these conditions. We then used inductive thematic analysis, allowing insights to emerge from the data. RESULTS: In total, 266 quotes were identified relating to OUD and CP. Five key themes emerged from the data: 1) the need to mitigate health care team bias to improve pain management access and experience; 2) the need for standardized sets of pain management options for all patients; 3) the importance of tailoring pain management plans to individuals’ unique needs; 4) the need to partner with patients in creating pain management plans to promote trust and autonomy; and 5) the importance of interprofessional teams in treating postpartum pain for individuals with OUD and CP. CONCLUSION: Interviews with patients and the people who care for them reveal important considerations for CPGs that improve rather than exacerbate existing disparities for birthing people with OUD and CP. Implementation of CPGs informed by patients’ lived experiences is a crucial step in ensuring equitable options for postpartum pain management in patients who face significant biases and barriers to effective care.
